- Tell us about yourself:
- Love old things, including houses. Enjoy gardening, reading,
antiquing. We share our home with four cats and four dogs.
We also share our place with giant oak trees.
- Tell us about your old-house experiences and dreams:
- Own a 1910 eclectic house. It has a Queen Anne floorplan but with some Colonial Revival elements....I guess a vernacular late Victorian?? We are only the third owners and the little old lady who lived here for many years kept it in pristine condition. Would love to finish out attic space and to rework the kitchen so it maintains the style of our home yet is a little more friendly to a 21st century life. No remuddling!
